Alberta Employers looking to temp-lay off employes due to Pandemic

[skegpro]

I've been trying to get a hold of Alberta Labour for a few days now but no luck so I'm going to pick your brains a bit. I have a full time guy that is a single dad, he is having trouble finding child care for his young daughter on weeks that he has custody so he has been working a week on a week off. I'm just not sure if their is any government program that will help get him some pay on his off weeks?

any thoughts?

Fully lay him off, and then bank the time he works to top off later?????

The document on the Canada.ca still says;


“Providing small business with wage subsidies
We announced an up to 75 per cent wage subsidy for qualifying businesses, for up to 3 months, retroactive to March 15, 2020. This will help businesses to keep and return workers to the payroll.

More details on eligibility criteria will start with the impact of COVID-19 on sales, and will be shared before the end of the month.”

So hopefully Trudy means this month and not next month or many more lay-off notices will be given all over this country.

Never happened this month.

Pierre Poilievre says the following;

Parliament will need to be recalled to salvage the government’s wage subsidy promise. Trudeau’s announcement is not legal under the law his government wrote last week. Morneau probably just realized that and that’s why he suddenly cancelled his press conference.

Trudeau said a company must have lost 30% of revenue to qualify for the wage subsidy. That is not in the law his government wrote. Trudeau said “all employers” will get help.

But public companies--which are among the largest employers in Canada--are not eligible under the law his government wrote. Trudeau also said employers that cannot afford to pay 25% of the wage will still get the 75% subsidy. That is not in the law his government wrote.

So not sure whats up now.

GOVERNMENT STIMULUS CHECK

BE WISE MY FRIENDS... BE WISE

So here’s what’s up:

1. If you get a government stimulus check, this check is to help pay your bills. That means you pay your rent, your mortgage, your utilities, your insurance, your car payment, y.o.u.r. b.i.l.l.s. This is not for frivolous spending.

2. To Tenants: If the government says you don’t have to pay your rent and there’s a ban on evictions, you better do whatever you can to pay your rent. There will be major repercussions when evictions bans are lifted. Don’t think you’ll get a free ride out of this. PAY YOUR RENT! Your landlord has bills to pay too.

3. To Homeowners: If the government tells banks to stop mortgage payments, the Interest is still charged and payments added back to the end of the mortgage. DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO PAY YOUR MORTGAGE!.

4. If the utility company suspends payments, you.better. PAY. ANY. AMOUNT. YOU . CAN! They are like banks, they will want their money eventually and when all this clears up, you’ll owe an exuberant bill and still won’t have any utilities. Pay whatever you can.

I saw this and thought it was wise advice.

PAY YOUR BILLS!!!!

Looked at that business loan thing. Why the fawk does it say you need minimum $50k payroll? What kind of BS is that? So they are basically saying anyone who is a O/P type deal isn't a real business and doesn't qualify? It should be based off of revenue or something else that makes sense. Hopefully the dumbies are still tweaking it too. Considering $10k is forgivable and it's interest free it would be foolish for any business not to take it.

Why didn't he just give everyone x amount of dollars a month for 3 months. Jaysus by the time he gets his programs sorted out everyone will be back to work

Oh yah. He had more time to pull off that scheme.

Priorities!

Priorities!

Yah hes good at collecting money from taxpayers but hasn't figured out how to give it back yet.

 

[Cyle]

I think the biggest winners of all these programs are going to be all the employees getting paid to sort the BS out. Don't even want to think of how many millions it's going to cost to administrate all of it....

Probably trying to think of a way to do them all without actually giving out any money, except to his crook friends and himself.

If they are giving 75% to businesses that can show a 30% decrease in business of a benchmark month. Not sure how this is going to work as most Alberta business have lost 30% in business over the last 1 1/2 years. Then if you havent it will take a few months to show this hit. And for businesses like mine for instance that I had 2 employees and they did a lot of the field work, now I laid one off and am doing more of that field work myself so keep the company afloat then working at office in the evening and weekends to make sure the work i did do is flowing. So it would take a while before I see a loss.

I can speak for the majority of businesses the owners, we cannot wait to see if we qualify and then have to wait for 3 more weeks to receive any assistance, that is much too late, we all ready let our employees go and we don't have any money left to rehire them and give them 25% of nothing. For the business that are hanging on they should of increased all from 10% subsidy to 30% immediately and then offered a program for the remainder to go up to 70% based on losses. We wont even see the first round of returns to our March 15 remittances until April 15. Some one needs to get there head out there ass here. Small shops wont survive this and need help now. When you write all the cheques for foreign help you send them immediately , now wake up and get your butt in gear.
